It's not love that a pear tree presses a begonia

Before watching this movie, to put it bluntly, I was attracted by the content of the story and the looks of the actors

The whole process did not stand on the commanding heights of morality to comment on whether it is so-called incest or perverted psychology. . . .

To say that the character of the character must be analyzed from the background of the character. Just like the male protagonist's experience of his first love made him form a "pedophile", he always felt that this description was not accurate enough, it should be infatuation and constantly looking for the shadow of first love, it was him who formed this distorted psychology, which also explained the memory of first love In his eyes, it was too beautiful to bear such a blow. It would seem a bit inappropriate to criticize this incestuous old man from the commanding heights of morality. Of course, this does not mean that this approach can be forgiven. Love is Selfless, and his love for Lolita also contains possession. In principle, this is why we feel that he is perverted, incestuous, and disgusting, and understand the reasons and motives for his psychology, but this possession comes from him. The character itself has nothing to do with love.

Writing here reminds me of the uncle of the same theme "This killer is not too cold", why do we think this uncle is cute, because his love for the little girl is selflessness, dedication, protection and salvation. There are many, many but no possession. Any element of selfishness, so this kind of love is lovely and worth pursuing for all of us. Whether the same love is selfish possession or altruistic devotion is the choice of the two uncles, and it is also the expression of their own personalities. The difference in the uncle's thinking and personality creates different endings. Personally, I think this is the essential difference between the two films. In other words, although good and evil are between a single thought, this moment of thought comes from all your thoughts in the past.

Just like this uncle who is not too cold for the killer, his first love is also painful, so the experience itself is only an objective cause. How to view and choose comes from yourself.

Besides, Little Loli, I don't know much about the specific details without reading the original book. The narrative method of the book is judged from the perspective of the uncle, so we can't objectively judge whether the little loli is a victim or "self-inflicted" as many barrages say. In fact, no matter what kind of age you are naively curious and rebellious about the world, even if you do something out of the ordinary, you are often unaware of it, because you are not mature enough to know your future, and it is more affected by the environment and family. . Not only the Lolita in the film is also like this in our teenage years. At this age, if you can meet a warm uncle like "This Killer is Not Too Cold" or a "perverted" uncle in this film, to put it bluntly It's more like a kind of luck... I always do outrageous things at an ignorant age, and of course the price is very, very heavy... I can't help but sigh, but this kind of courage to blindly go to the fire It's so moving, so it's always contradictory.

I am a little hesitant to give this movie or read the original book when I write it here. It is just the movie, why bother with right and wrong. I just want to thank the author for bringing us such a unique emotional experience and life insight through pictures and words. In my opinion, this is also the biggest point of watching this movie, and it is worth it.

Finally, let me say a digression. The story of a pear tree pressing a begonia in Dongpo is too interesting. I really love Su Dongpo! hhh
